Live actors combined with animation is called?

• A. Dynamation
• B. Pixilation
• C. Claymation
• D. Armature

Answer: (A)

This question is about the method of blending live-action footage with animation. The classic term for integrating live actors with stop-motion animation is Dynamation. It was developed to let animated creatures appear and interact within real-world scenes, with the different layers of live action and animation composited together in post-production. A famous use is in films where the stop-motion figures seem to walk among the actors. Pixilation also mixes live-action and animation, but it usually refers to animating real people frame-by-frame to produce a purely animated look, not the standard process of inserting animated elements into live-action footage. Claymation involves clay models and is typically standalone animation without live-action plates. Armature is the internal skeleton inside a model used for animation, not a technique for combining live-action with animation.
